Towards a Great 2026
Happy New Year everyone!
This is the Holoearth project lead, Ikko Fukuda.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for their continued support of Holoearth.
Thanks to your warm encouragement, Holoearth was able to officially launch as Version 1.0.0 on April 24, 2025.
With the goal of providing an experience where talents from hololive production and users can meet in the same space, and of further expanding the opportunities for talents to shine, we have continued development and regular updates.
As one of the culminating projects of 2025, we held a brand-new kind of virtual concert in December: “NePoLaBo Live re:VISION Holoearth Live.”
This event was not a conventional streamed digital performance, but rather it was designed as a new experience where you actually enter the world where the talents are and actually see them at the venue.
We have previously taken on virtual event challenges, such as the “Protolive” in December 2022 and “Protolive #2: ~Yamato Phantasia~” in July 2023. With this latest performance, however, we were able to achieve a significant evolution across every aspect of the experience, bringing greater immersion with the talent models, enhanced graphics, full virtual immersion, and an overall leap forward in quality.
Unlike traditional streamed performances, this event offered:
・The ability to meet the talents in the same space.
・Deep immersion, allowing viewing from any angle at close range in 360 degrees.
・A spatial performance that would be impossible to realize at a real-world concert.
・The ability to participate again through a “3D archive” that preserves the entire event space.
We believe we were able to deliver a completely new form of concert experience—one that represents the unique value only Holoearth can provide.
Currently, “NePoLaBo Live re:VISION Holoearth Live” is available to re-experience as a 3D archive until Wednesday, January 21 at 23:59 (JST).
Whether you have yet to experience it or have already participated, we hope you enjoy discovering something new that is uniquely your own. No VR equipment is necessary, only a Windows PC.
In addition, for those who do not have a system to join via Holoearth, we are also offering the conventional archived streaming options via the SPWN and ZAIKO platforms.
Be sure to check out the powerful visuals made possible by the meticulously crafted camera work from our operations staff—an appeal unique to the streamed version.

All hololive production Talent Avatar Models Implemented
As the first piece of news for 2026, we are pleased to announce that the avatars of all talents belonging to hololive production have been implemented in Holoearth. With this, whenever the talents log into Holoearth, they can visit this world at any time in their own true form.
Not only during concerts and events—there may also be moments when a talent casually drops by just to hang out.
This implementation goes beyond simply adding avatars. It signifies that the most important foundation has been put in place to expand each talent’s new basis for activities.
Toward concerts, events, and entirely new kinds of encounters—please look forward to the future developments of Holoearth that begin from here.
Further Expanding the “Meet-in-Person” Experience & Play Environment
In 2026, we will further enhance the concert and event experiences where users can meet talents in Holoearth, and we will also work on expanding the “play environment” so that even more people can participate.
We are currently preparing a cloud gaming system that allows those without a PC or those using a Mac to easily join events through a web browser. In addition to this, we are also progressing with the development of a version for mobile platforms.
In 2026, we will continue to create and deliver experiences that are unique to meeting talents—experiences that are different from YouTube streams or real-world events—together with everyone.
We look forward to your continued support of Holoearth in 2026.
